citizens have been involved. my understanding from our uk source says that the numbers they have now reached into double digits. we have got to ten or more people to have appeared to have either been killed or missing after the events of saturday morning. dead or missing is relevant, because in some places it has not been possible to access where bodies are and there is also theissue where bodies are and there is also the issue about kidnapping. it may be that some of those on this list had been kidnapped, but it is more likely that they are among the dead. we have some names associated with these people, for example a foot of torque —— a photographerfrom darlington. nathanial young, who was serving in the italy defence forces. also jake marlow, who was working as a security guard at the festival. those are three of their names. it seems like the number is much higher than those three and certainly in double digits.—

than those three and certainly in double digits. thank you for that u dates. double digits. thank you for that updates- we _ double digits. thank you for that updates. we will _ double digits. thank you for that updates. we will have _ double digits. thank you for that updates. we will have more - updates. we will have more information about that developing story, an official uk sourced at ten british nationals have been caught up british nationals have been caught up on hamas's attack on israel, feared to be dead or missing in israel. in the past hour, a us national security council spokesperson has confirmed the death of nine american citizens in israel. the spokesperson said, "we extend our deepest condolences to the victims and to the families of all those affected, and wish those injured a speedy recovery. we continue to monitor the situation closely and remain in touch with our israeli partners, particularly the local authorities." the second day of the labour party conference is under way in liverpool. shadow chancellor rachel reeves has

promised to "get britain building" if the party wins the next general election. in a speech at labour's conference in liverpool, she said the party would speed up the planning process by fast—tracking priority decisions on infrastructure and appointing 300 new planning officers. our political correspondnat nick eardley is in liverpool. it has been about an hour since she spoke, how is her speech playing out of the party conference? i spoke, how is her speech playing out of the party conference?— of the party conference? i think it is one of the party conference? i think it is gone down _ of the party conference? i think it is gone down pretty _ of the party conference? i think it is gone down pretty well- of the party conference? i think it is gone down pretty well here, i is gone down pretty well here, catherine. chatting to some labour people in the last hour or so, they seem pretty pleased with that speech, pretty excited by it, actually. we had liz kendall on the bbc about an hour ago and she seemed actually enthused by it and

confident that it was a message that would resonate with the country. i suppose the question labour has is if it will excite people away from the conference. it is a given that it would do quite well here. the question is does it act as at prospectus that labour can take to the country. let's chat it over with dame angela eagle. angela, i had no humour in watching that speech. one of the questions that is brought up time and again when you speak to unions leaders and some on the left of your party is labour, could it be bolder? i think rachel set out a bolder? i think rachel set out a bold vision, especially on the renewal of infrastructure and the transformation we need to reach net zero and the good, well paid jobs that will encourage. she set out a vision of how industry and business coach properly be certain that these

infrastructure projects will go ahead so you don't have the chaos and cancellation and uncertainty we have seen in the last few years, that it's in our economy stagnate. that is in choosing our constituency parties and the people in the hall, but it is also increasing business who are attending this conference in larger numbers than ever before. what do you say to people like sharon graham who wants a bold vision. we sharon graham who wants a bold vision. ~ ., ., , ., vision. we also need to ensure that we reach the _ vision. we also need to ensure that we reach the part _ vision. we also need to ensure that we reach the part of— vision. we also need to ensure that we reach the part of the _ vision. we also need to ensure that we reach the part of the electorate | we reach the part of the electorate that we _ we reach the part of the electorate that we haven't reached in a long time _ that we haven't reached in a long time they— that we haven't reached in a long time. they need reassurance. rachel talking _ time. they need reassurance. rachel talking about securonomics, that idea that — talking about securonomics, that idea that at the foundation of things— idea that at the foundation of things is— idea that at the foundation of things is the security for families, so they— things is the security for families, so they can — things is the security for families, so they can go to bed at night knowing — so they can go to bed at night knowing they can pay the mortgage, that is— knowing they can pay the mortgage, that is an _

affected in herat province? first of all, the taliban _ affected in herat province? first of all, the taliban government - all, the taliban government officials have been telling us that the death toll has reached 2500, and thousands of people are injured and people are telling us that they are not receiving enough aids because the area is far from the capital, it is mostly in herat province, close to the iranian border. it happened mostly in rural areas. in afghanistan, most of the houses are made of mud bricks, so it doesn't give you enough time to escape when there is a shock, the house collapses and everyone in the house will die because the walls are thick and the roots are thick and mostly made of mud. that was the reason for

the high death toll. when it comes to aids, the eight is arriving very slowly and it is not enough, because the region was already suffering from hunger, the humanitarian crisis, and aid agencies were already complaining about the shortage of aid because the winter was arriving. this will be an extra challenge for aid agencies. the taliban government are in charge and they are expected to help people get aid and rebuild their houses and their lives. he aid and rebuild their houses and their lives-— their lives. he mentioned that alabama's _ their lives. he mentioned that alabama's response. - their lives. he mentioned that alabama's response. how - their lives. he mentioned that - alabama's response. how equipped our day to be able to handle a situation like this? this day to be able to handle a situation like this? ~ , day to be able to handle a situation like this? . , ., like this? as i said earlier, the country was — like this? as i said earlier, the country was already _ like this? as i said earlier, the country was already facing - like this? as i said earlier, the country was already facing a i country was already facing a humanitarian crisis. they were not even capable of helping those who

already needed help because they don't have means, they don't resources and the international community has been given humanitarian aid to afghanistan, which is mostly spent by international donors and the united nations aid agencies. that itself was not enough because the demands made by the aid agencies from international donors were not met, even half of those demands were not met, that is why it is an extra challenge for the taliban government. and afghanistan a people as a whole. now it's time for a look at the weather with carole. hello again. over the weekend we'd a real contrast with the weather north to south. in scotland, we had torrential rain which led to some disruption and flooding, whereas as we pushed across england, wales and northern ireland, this area of high pressure was very much in charge, so it was settled and it was very warm

for the time of year, as it will be today. we do have a weak weather front draped across northern england, northern ireland and also parts of southern scotland. it has been producing some patchy light rain. that will continue to fade. we also have a lot of low cloud, mist and murk close to the irish sea coastlines. you can see here a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine, warm across the far south—east. a wee bit fresher as we push further north, but feeling much better in scotland today than it did over the weekend. through this evening and overnight, the low cloud, mist and mark in the irish sea will push a bit further inland and drift across the english channel coast, as well. we'll also have some more rain coming in across western scotland. in fact, the met office has a yellow weather warning out for this because this rain is falling on already saturated ground. it will be with us tomorrow, courtesy of this weather front which is just very slowly pushing southwards. tomorrow, as you can tell from the isobars, it's going to be breezy wherever you are, windy in the north and the low cloud.

the low cloud, mist and murk that's pushed inland overnight will start to retreat back towards the coasts, but what you'll find is some of it will linger. temperatures tomorrow widely 19 to 2a degrees, but on the other side of the weather front in the north it will start to turn that bit fresher. our weather front makes it down into england and wales during the course of wednesday. behind it, brighterskies, still noticeably breezy with a few showers peppering the north and the west. you can see the fresher conditions — nine to about 18 degrees behind the weather front, but ahead of it we're still in the much warmer air. still for london 23 degrees. then, as we look beyond that, our weatherfront, which has come south, looks very much like, on thursday, it's going to push northwards again and we've got another one slipping south. we could well see these two merge during the course of friday. still a bit of uncertainty about it, but what it does mean is that in the outlook period it does turn more unsettled with more of us seeing some rain. but behind the weather front

in southern england, as it moves north, will get warmer.
